Since the whole March took the initiative to start the war, Li Jing was nervous at first, and he was worried about repeating the mistakes of the last war against Fujian, so he had to bow down to everything and ask about the front-line food and logistics every morning.

Soon, Li Jing's mood turned into loss.

The Qingyuan and Wuyue battles initiated by Lin Feng were essentially a short, flat and fast "blitzkrieg", and the five local Jiedu armies that dispatched troops would have three to six months of food stocks every day, even if the food consumption increased sharply during the battle, there was no need for emergency dispatch in the rear in just one month's war consumption. When attacking Fuzhou, Lin Feng mobilized Quanzhang and Zhangzhou to store grain on the spot, and mobilized local wealthy merchants to transport grain to the front line, so there was no problem of grain and grass being unable to connect. In other words, Li Jing, the self-styled "chief grain and grass officer", did not come in handy at all.

When the news of the defeat of the middle route army and the victory of the north route army that attacked Wu Yue came one after another, Li Jing's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, and he had no intention of taking care of business. It was not until late March, when the victorious battle reports about Quanzhou and Fuzhou were transmitted to the rear in an expedited manner of 800 miles, that Li Jing landed on a boulder.

However, excitement is always temporary, and distress is the theme of life!

waited for Li Jing's excitement to drop slightly, and only after being reminded by the ministers did he realize that this victory scene not only brought glory, but also brought many victorious troubles:

First of all, in terms of political influence, the recovery of the Qingyuan Army has little impact, after all, the Qingyuan Army was originally the nominal territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is different to occupy Fuzhou, the protest from Wu Yue needs to be responded, and for the nominal suzerainty of Wu Yue - Hou Zhou, there must be an official statement!

After the court discussion, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent a highest-level envoy group, led by Sun Sheng, the right servant of Shangshu, to rush to the Later Zhou with a large amount of property, explaining the reason for sending troops to Wu Yue, stating that the Southern Tang Dynasty only wanted to recover the Fuzhou land that belonged to them, and asked for the understanding of the Later Zhou.

Secondly, the newly acquired land is ruled, and how to manage the land of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Fuzhou is an important decision that may affect the future. After urgent discussion, the court officially abolished the Qingyuan Army, and set up the Quanzhou Thorn History and Zhangzhou Thorn History, and Chen Yuanzao, the former household servant, was reappointed as the Quanzhou Thorn History, and Chen Hongjin was the training envoy of the Quanzhou regiment; Liucong is willing to continue to serve as the assassin of Zhangzhou, and Zhang Hansi serves as the training envoy of the Zhangzhou regiment; There is still a Zhangwu army in the Fuzhou area, which is temporarily served by Chen Xu, the envoy of the Jianzhou Festival and the servant.

The last is the issue of rewards for the victorious division, and the more than 100,000 soldiers who participated in the attack all received rewards, and the court issued money, plus the original wealth in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, it was nothing more than spending some more money; As for the generals of the three-way infantry and the navy who attacked Wu Yue, they were all ready to reward them with a lot of money; The Guizhou Festival made Ma Jiwei have meritorious service in defending the land, removed the word "line", and officially became the Guizhou Festival Envoy;

There is only one person who is the most difficult to reward: Lin Feng! The reason why Nantang was able to win on all fronts was that the most important person was Lin Feng.

Lin Feng led the special soldiers to successfully seek the Qingyuan Army and Wu Yue's Fuzhou, this merit is as dazzling as the sun, and it cannot be appreciated; It was precisely because of Lin Feng's great foresight in establishing the Yihan Alliance that the Guiguan region could easily defeat the invading Southern Han army, and this merit could not be unappreciated; It was precisely because of Lin Feng's war of attrition that the strong enemy Hou Zhou suffered setbacks under Jinzhou City, and successfully attracted Hou Zhou's attention, which was a great achievement that had to be rewarded.

Reward is a must, but how to reward must be carefully consulted. Therefore, when Shangshu's right servant shot Sun Sheng in the court meeting the day before the envoy, he immediately detonated an incomparably huge "earth-shaking thunder" in the court.

Chang Mengxi, the deputy envoy of the privy council, Xiao Yan in the line of Dali Temple, Jiang Wenwei, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the right counselor, and Han Xizai, a member of the Yu Department, naturally agreed with the grand prize, and believed that Lin Feng must be established as a benchmark and symbol for the Southern Tang Dynasty to attach importance to talents and distinguish rewards and punishments;

As for the privy envoy Feng Yansi, the privy deputy envoy Wei Cen and others, who have always been uninterested in Lin Feng, they tried their best to attribute the victory of the Wu-Yue War to the determination and wisdom of the saint and the wise command of the King of Qi, and at the same time attributed all the victories in the Guiguan region to Ma Jiwei, the former deputy general of the Wuchang Army and the envoy of the Guizhou Festival, and tried their best to downplay and erase Lin Feng's contribution in all wars.

However, one thing that everyone remembers is that in this court controversy, even the most stubborn opposition spoke a little cautiously, and no one jumped to splash sewage on Lin Feng anymore. After all, the fact that Guozi's assistant Wang Tai's family was slaughtered is there, although the case has not been solved, everyone knows that Lu Dao has nothing to do with Lin Feng, so naturally he doesn't want to overstimulate Lin Feng anymore, and the ghost knows how crazy he or his subordinates will be!

The first wave of controversy in the court about Lin Feng's reward was originally relatively flat, but because of the participation of two heavyweights, the controversy immediately escalated.

Lin Feng's future father-in-law, Situ Zhouzong, visited his close friends and allies in the DPRK and China overnight after meeting with Xi Mucheng one night. As a result, there were more and more bigwigs who joined the team to support Lin Feng the next morning.

At this time, the imperial historian Fang Hongjian, who is known for his uprightness, jumped out and presented a long and exhaustive recital, counting the major role played by all the introduced talents since the founding of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then turned his pen and counted Lin Feng's outstanding contributions in politics and diplomacy, social change, economic development, military strategy, scientific and technological invention, etc., pointing out that Lin Feng will be one of the key factors for the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world in the future. If this merit is not rewarded, there is no one in the world who is not rewarded!

Fang Hongjian's righteous and outspoken words made Li Jing, who had been silent, a little feverish on his face, the last time Lin Feng came back from a trip to the north, he should have been rewarded, but he was suppressed by himself out of selfishness, and now it seems that he can no longer avoid this problem.

At this moment, a letter from the Eastern Capital temporarily saved Li Jing, who was a little difficult to ride a tiger. Li Hongji, the king of Yan, strongly recommended Lin Feng to be the chief envoy of the Qingfeng Palace, taking charge of the Tang Dynasty reform.

Of course, this idea was not thought up by Li Hongji himself, but was instigated by his "Keqing", Yuan Shangshu Ling Song Qiqiu.

After the New Year's amnesty was issued, Li Hongji sent a letter to his own Lao Tzu, saying that he was still young after all, and he wanted to hire Song Qiqiu, who had been thinking behind closed doors, as his division commander to guide the reform of the Eastern Capital. After Li Jing pondered deeply, he approved and agreed, and Song Qiqiu officially announced the end of the retreat and began to officially return to the world.

In the past three months, Song Qiqiu, who has become more and more immortal, has been hiding in the small courtyard of the Eastern Capital Left-behind Mansion every day to write and draw up, changing his previous extravagant habits, never asking for food, drink and clothing, and only asking Li Hongji to provide any news about Lin Feng every two days.

Since the news about the war in Quanzhou and Fuzhou came from many sources, Song Qiqiu locked himself up for two days in a row, and found Li Hongji with a heavy face, and his first sentence was to ask thoughtlessly: "May I ask His Royal Highness King Yan does he trust the old man?" ”

Li Hongji was a little puzzled, and replied without thinking: "Of course Xiao Wang trusts Master Song!" ”

Song Qiqiu put a map of the world full of pen marks and ink in front of Li Hongji, and said very solemnly: "The old man suspects that Lin Feng is setting up an incomparably huge bureau, so please Your Highness must stop Lin Feng from taking charge of Shouzhou!" ”

The headless assertion completely stunned the young Yan Wang, and I really wondered if Song Qiqiu was a little old and confused.

Song Qiqiu said eagerly: "The matter is urgent, please ask Your Highness to write a letter in person, and ask the Holy Seal Lin Feng to take charge of the change!" ”

Li Hongji was even more confused, and immediately retreated, and asked Song Qiqiu to explain the reason in detail, and half an hour later, three fast horses drove out of Yangzhou, the eastern capital, and rushed to Jinling with the recital of His Royal Highness King Yan.

Li Hongji's hurried performance suddenly set off another wave of wind in the court.

At this moment, the two factions arguing in the court completely changed their positions, and the original anti-Lin faction opposed this proposal in unison, saying that the change matter was extremely important, how could a person who had been in the government for less than a year be in charge, isn't this a joke about the future of the country?!

And the original pro-forest faction was unanimously opposed.

The heart of Sima Zhao hidden in this chapter, a discerning person can know at a glance that more than a dozen ministers are fighting openly and secretly in the Qingfeng Palace, tossing back and forth for more than half a year, basically without achieving any substantive results, and now Lin Feng is suddenly promoted to this position, that is to put him on the fire, this is to kill!

Unlike the unanimous opposition of the ministers, Li Jing quite agreed with Li Hongji's point of view in his heart, and it was a good idea to justifiably control Lin Feng, a dangerous person with unfathomable depth, under his nose. Besides, wouldn't it be a good thing if there was a breakthrough in these changes?

At this time, Xiao Yan stood up and pointed out a fact: the current reform of Qingfeng Hall does not see obvious progress, precisely because everyone is working behind closed doors and has not obtained practical confirmation in the state and county, it is better to let Lin Feng go to the land of a state to carry out a reform experiment to test the effect.

Xiao Yan's stone-throwing immediately stirred up another wave of big Lang. The original anti-Lin faction strongly agreed with this idea, and began to take the initiative to select a state capital for Lin Feng that could make a major breakthrough through change. Without exception, these places are all poor areas for the old and the young, and their intentions are also obvious, first throw this extremely annoying Lin Feng into the middle of the world!

Of course, the pro-forest faction disagreed, believing that time was running out, that a major change was imminent, and that it was necessary to find a large state with a moderate scale and long-term influence and conduct an experiment. A new wave of controversy arose between the two sides over the location of Lin Feng's "lower faction".

After entering April of the ninth year of Baoda, the re-action of the two heavyweights put an end to the controversy in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Lin Feng's subordinate place was finally determined.
